I'm curious what people are planning on doing when they pick up their X. I'm torn between restoring from a backup of my 7 or just starting fresh.

Good question, I ended up setting up my iPad as a new tablet when I got it this past summer.
I usually set up my new phones from a backup, I'm not sure what the advantage of going fresh provides - other then choosing what apps get installed.
Plus what about your images, if you have a lot of pictures on your phone will they not come over if you set it up as new?

I prefer restore becuase it saves having to redownload apps and arranging folders. Plus I have little setting changes like vibrate off and a few other things that carry over with a restore.

I was just refreshing my memory and learning how to do a new phone now that I have an AW. I don’t use the cloud so is backing up with iTunes encrypted just as good?
Yep. I think you will need to unpair you Watch with you old phone and then make that encrypted backup. That way all health data will be current.
